Yeah, Yubikey fits - it implements TOTP/HOTP, and bitwarden is great

Just “app-based” worried me about apps rolling their own implementations instead of using standards

App-based is also unacceptable if it’s a proprietary implementation

TOTP/HOTP are the best standards right now

Even with separate drives, the Windows 8 -> Windows 10 update wiped all the GPT drives in my system

Thanks for the correction - I’ve been using enough different ones that my information might have been out of date there

I mean, just look at how many patches in Android are marked DO NOT MERGE, DO NOT MERGE ANYWHERE, etc, but are in mainline

Yeah, that’s always been my experience with KPIs, too.

It’s always turned into a game for managers - they don’t have the ability to actually improve the product, so the measurements change or they add an extra field in the ticket…

My first job was as a cashier and we were trained to press the calculate button on the register after each item we scanned. Did that make the checkout go faster? Nope. Did it make their measurement look better? Yeah, since that wasn’t “checkout time” in their report

At another job, patches weren’t merged fast enough. So, instead of making any changes that would improve the product, we were ordered to make one ticket for investigating the problem and a second for integrating the fix. It made fixing issues slower, but their KPIs went up…

Yeah… we’re having this with one of our suppliers right now…

We’re showing them all the issues they aren’t solving and they’re saying “look all our KPI numbers look amazing”

So now we have to explicitly go into each ticket and mark it as dissatisfied, since they don’t take into account how long the ticket was open, how many meetings had to be called over the ticket, etc. just whether it was closed without clicking the extra “we’re dissatisfied” button

Pixels (at least ordered from Google) allow you to unlock the bootloader without any exploits, so they normally have the best ROM support

GrapheneOS is where a lot of the security work that ends up making it to other Android devices starts

CalyxOS is a good option for more support for standard Google Play apps

LineageOS is the original big ROM, but I think last time I checked, you couldn’t reenable the secure boot chain

The article you’re responding to specifically states he didn’t have sirens on

It should make it somewhat easier for individuals as well

The idea is that you have the vendor image with Qualcomm or Samsung specific drivers, and you can build AOSP for everything else

The structs in the kernel have some extra GKI space so if they change, it can still support the older drivers

The downside is Google is planning on pushing the updates through the Play Store, so it will take some effort to make it work in AOSP for Lineage/Graphene, etc

For what it’s worth, that’s the goal behind GKI (generic kernel image)

It allows Google to update the phone without the manufacturer’s input

We do know octopi, for example, can solve complex puzzles

Why is there a radio box for RealProducer if you may select FFmpeg or MEncoder? 🤔

I can tell you the last time I called customer support and it caused me to return the product and never buy from that company again

That’s harder for companies to put into an excel sheet, though

They take a cut from anyone who subscribes to a podcast, so it’s one of their revenue streams

Nearly every computer you use, including the ones people are starting to use for self-driving, can have their memory accidentally modified from cosmic rays

We try really hard to protect spaceships from them, since they’re subject to more

However, due to the law of large numbers, sometimes your computer will get random bit flips - where it should be a 0, but it’s instead a 1, or vice versa

They haven’t yet supported right to repair for their own devices, so there’s very little flip flopping

To take it to another level - that’s why he’s saying “HDMI” - it’s a question

If he was right, he’d have said “HD, I am”

Tbf, I kind of want to know how much zebraforce my car gets now, though
